Hi all,
In advance of Thursdays openSUSE Conference Workshop on the topic[1], I'd like to share with you all what I've been working on for replacing/improving software.opensuse.org
My main goals have been to reduce the technical complexity of the current page (which often struggles under the heavy load of release days) while also doing a much better job of reflecting the offerings provided by the opensuse project and providing clearer help to users.
You can see the current progress at https://software.opensuse.org/newsite/
First thought - it's significantly faster than www.opensuse.org, but otherwise quite similar, so similar it's difficult to see any real difference? Maybe you/we need to define the difference between www.opensuse.org and softare.opensuse.org? With your proposal, they both look like shop windows.
The main thing that is desperately needed before I feel this new site is viable as a replacement for software.opensuse.org is a translation solution. I have been evaluating Polyglot [2] which seems to be a viable solution, but due to limited time and an inability to translate any other language, I would really like help getting it implemented.
What is the current site using? Does it need replacing/reinventing? One comment mostly wrt the current site - in FF on a standard 24" desktop monitor, I have to scroll down to notice the language option. I think that ought to be right up at the top. Maybe with the three most common plus "Others" listed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
